Hi Joachim,
Nice work, any info on how to improve load speed is much appreciated.

Do you have any numbers to show what sort of performance increase can be
expected. If it's significant I should add similar functionality into
osmosis. I already have something similar for the PostgreSQL schema
supported by osmosis, it wouldn't be difficult to create a similar thing for
MySQL.
The biggest problem I found wasn't the actual processing of INSERT
statements, it was MySQL scaling non-linearly with the number of rows.
MyISAM tables are very fast to import regardless of number of rows, but
InnoDB seems to slow down as the number of rows increase. I'm surprised
loading with LOAD DATA INFILE fixes that.
